Hi 👋 are you referring to Stripe's fees? If so, I'd recommend reaching out to our Support team:
https://support.stripe.com/?contact=true

If you're talking about charging fees as part of your integration, can you elaborate?

Hi toby, I am developing a payment solution for restaurants in which the clients can pay the bill or split the bill. Of course im using stripe, but i dont know if the code is not good.

This is my createPaymentIntent function on my backend:

const createPaymentIntent = async (req, res) => {
  const { amounts, customerId, currency, paymentMethodId, params } = req.body
  console.log(amounts)
  const rest_fee = amounts.total * 0.02
  try {
    const paymentIntent = await stripe.paymentIntents.create({
      customer: customerId,
      amount: amounts.total - rest_fee,
      currency: currency,
      payment_method: paymentMethodId,
      setup_future_usage: 'off_session',
      application_fee_amount: amounts.avoFee + rest_fee,
      transfer_data: {
        destination: 'acct_1Oks58PmsglnVXF2',
      },
      metadata: {
        venueId: params.venueId,
        billId: params.billId,
        tipPercentage: amounts.tipPercentage,
        avoFee: amounts.avoFee,
        total: amounts.total,
        amount: amounts.amount,
      },
    })

    res.json({ id: paymentIntent.id, client_secret: paymentIntent.client_secret })
  } catch (err) {
    console.log(err)
    res.status(500).json('Error creating payment intent')
  }
}

I just want to know what is going on here, because the numbers doesnt match

Can you provide more details? What numbers are you looking at that don't match, where did those come from?

[bleak wind]

Well i provide them

I need to charge to the restaurant a 2% fee for every transaction, additionaly to 0.5% to the user.

  if (amount.amount / 100 < 10) {
    return <div>El monto mínimo es de $10</div>
  }

  const tip = amount.amount * tipPercentage
  const avoFee = amount.amount * 0.05
  const total = Math.round(amount.amount + tip + avoFee)

Okay, and what are you seeing currently? How is that different from what you're expecting? I need more details about specific numbers you're seeing, and expecting to see, in order to help provide any guidance on why those don't align. Right now I have the code you're using to create a Payment Intent, but I don't grasp why that isn't doing what you're hoping.

Example the bill is 100 usd
the user wants to give a tip of 20% (20 usd)
avofee is currently in 5% but it would be 2% = 2 usd

subtotal 122 usd + the 0.5% = 0.61 usd

Total: 122.61

For some reason, the stripe fees are always bigger and im always losing money..
